 New signs say no eBike of any class then incorrectly cite a municipal code that does not include e-bikes. One rider said it was enforced upon them...

      Climb was okay - if from higher altitude. People have been caring for this road. No trash. Great views. Fun rock problems on the way down Goats. (Not beginner rocks in sections of Goats)
      frugal
      Ebike was perfect for this climb. Definitely would have walked several sections on regular bike. I hate walking.

      Miserable walking up steep fire roads with broken glass and trash everywhere.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
